Wanna get away?
With federal and congressional investigations hanging over his head, first son Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen escaped Los Angeles by spending the weekend at a $50 million vineyard owned by medical device company executive Joe Kiani — a major donor to Democrats and President Biden.
Hunter, Melissa and their Secret Service protectors arrived at Kiani Preserve, about three hours north of LA in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country, in a four-car motorcade Friday evening — one week after the 53-year-old returned to the US from accompanying his father and aunt on a state visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The Santa Ynez property includes a main house and a guest house — both of which are equipped with a pool, tennis courts and a private vineyard.
This weekend is far from the first time Kiani, the CEO of Orange County-based Masimo Corporation, has helped out a Biden family member. He donated $750,000 to the pro-Biden Unite the Country PAC in 2020, part of nearly $3 million he reportedly bundled to the president’s campaign, super PAC and inaugural committee.
Kiani has also tried to boost the Bidens in other ways. According to emails and text messages from Hunter’s abandoned laptop, Masimo offered a job in July 2018 to first niece Caroline Biden, which would have allowed her to serve out her probationary period in California after she racked up more than $100,000 in charges on a stolen credit card.
Instead, Caroline turned down the offer, sniffing to her father James — Hunter’s uncle and sometime business partner — that the base salary of $85,000 was “below minimum wage in California after taxes … I made more money every other year.”
